Ready, Check, GO! in Sport and Recreation

Our ‘Ready, Check, GO!’ campaign aims to:

  • raise awareness of the WWC Check to all involved in sport and recreation
  • increase the knowledge of clubs and associations about their WWC Check legal obligations
  • ensure individuals who are engaging in child-related work have a valid WWC Check and
  • inform parents that people working and volunteering with children in sport and recreation clubs and associations may need a WWC Check

The WWC Check is one of many important strategies we have to help strengthen child safety in organisations, which are outlined in the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations.
